Reef safe magnets

[jorge0912]

I been looking for magnets to fix my frag rack but I can’t seem to find what is safe and what isn’t
Has anyone ever bought some in amazon ?

You want to use a plastic coated magnet inside the tank. Epoxy coated magnets will eventually rust and leak nasties into the water.

Whenever the topic comes up, reefers often mention buying the plastic coated magnets from KJ Magnets for inside the tank. And you can buy cheaper epoxy coated magnets from Amazon to use for the outside.

Ceramic magnets are reef safe, like the one in my IceCap Gyre. Neodymium are not. They need to be encased in acrylic or a similar material.

I have used the Oceans Wonders epoxy rubber encased magnets for DIY frag racks with great success.
